If a student is a UK or EU national and is not funding themselves, they will need to apply for student finance at www.gov.uk/student-finance.

The deadline for this is in May in order to be able to access the funds when they start university, so we encourage students to apply for this as soon as possible.

If a student has a diagnosed learning difficulty or other issue including mental health issues, they may be eligible for a Disabled Students Allowance, which does not have to be repaid, and is applied for as part of the student finance process. This helps towards the cost of any extra provision they need.
